Mince...

Well any kind of meat I suppose. I used to freeze it then get it out and break a bit off put the rest back in the freezer, defrost what I had taken out of the freezer.

So how does this work?

My auntie says cook all the mince(brown it)I am then supposed to simmer it in a pan(possibly with a stock cube, herbs, garlic etc?)And eat some and put the rest in containers and after it cools, put in the freezer for another day? Do I drain it? If I am using it the following day can leave it in the fridge part? How long can I freeze it for? How long should I defrost it for if it's been in the freezer?

When I have defrosted it, if I don't want to eat it cold, how do I warm it up? I have heard I can simmer it in a pan of water for a few minutes, if I do should I again add some stock/gravy to the water to give it some flavour again or do I use plain water?

Any ideas and advice appreciated.

Whilst I am on I cannot eat all of the belly pork that I purchased. Do I cook all of it at once and again freeze some of the cooked pork for later use or can I take out what I need when I first open the packet and wrap up the remainder and put the raw meat in the freezer?

Thanks...
